An empire at a turning point

The final volume of the Astra Black trilogy brings the Muungano Empire’s internal pressures into contact with an approaching power: the Interstellar Alliance. Across a coalition of city-states extending from Earth to Titan and beyond, soldiers, scientists, diplomats, and leaders each have a part in confronting threats to the empire’s future. The story spans locations from Earth, Mars, and Titan to the far side of the Orun Gate, placing political conflict within a broad interstellar setting. The trilogy’s closing installment continues its exploration of how an expansive empire responds when its ambitions and survival are challenged.

Book overview

The third and final book in a trilogy where the futuristic technology of Black Panther meets the scale of The Expanse and the intricate political maneuverings of Game of Thrones.

"Not to be missed."--Washington Post on Sweep of Stars

Maurice Broaddus returns with A City Dreaming, the third book in his Astra Black trilogy, which explores the struggles of an empire. Epic in scope and intimate in voice, it follows members of the Muungano Empire--a far-reaching coalition of city-states that stretches from Earth to Titan and beyond--as it faces renewed threats to its progress.

We received a signal. Everything has changed.
The Interstellar Alliance are coming.

A new empire approaches and the Muungano, already facing foes much closer to home, will have to contend with what it means for their future. Across the solar system, from Earth to Mars and Titan, beyond the Orun Gate, and across time and space itself a battle will rage.

Their soldiers, scientists, diplomats and leaders will all have a role to play if their empire is to live on.
